2019 Tenuta di Arceno Il Fauno di Arcanum (Super Tuscan)

2019 Tenuta di Arceno Il Fauno di Arcanum (Super Tuscan) It’s hard not to be smitten with the 2019 Il Fauno di Arcanum. The nose exudes black cherries, wild honey, and sweet mint. This full-bodied wine immediately envelopes the palate, framed and defined by an intense minerality. Flavors of dark plums, sweet roses are enhanced by notes of black pepper and exotic spice.  The finish is vibrant and uplifting, with bright acid and a hint of cedary oak

This wine is an absolute steal at the price. This house is in one of the sweets spots in the Tuscany, Castelnuovo Berardenga home to greats like Felsina and Tolaini. Winemaker Pierre Seillan is a 100pt Parker Winemaker, Our price is strong, 26% Off and it is owned by one of the great Wine Companies in the World.

The 2019 Tenuta di Arceno Il Fauno di Arcanum is made up of Bordeaux Varietals; Cabernet, Merlot, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot and is sourced primarily from the Di Sotto, La Curva, Colombaio and San Giovanni blocks. Located in the lower southwest section of the estate, in a warmer, exposed subsection that ripens early, the soils possess a significant amount of clay, with good water retention, and produce wines that tend to be more voluptuous and lush.

The Winery is owned by the Jackson Family who purchased it in 1994 and today is part of their international portfolio. Wines are made by Pierre Seillan who has made wine all over the world. His breakout was the 100pt Parker Bordeaux Blends he made at Verite in California. The wine received a huge 94pts by Decanter for a wine priced at its level, it’s a huge accomplishment. This is a big, lush, round opulent red with superb richness and concentration. I loved the mouthfeel and the suppleness. I will be putting a case of this away in my cellar. This is a hardcore, real deal Super Tuscan that punches way above its weight.
